Notes

Actually, two batches of this guitar have been produced. A first run, between 1969 and 1970 (22 frets, ebonite fretboard), very likely from Japan, then a second batch (24 frets, rosewood), from 1972 to 1974, from Japan then, for the final 200 ones, produced by... Semie Moseley. (source: VG Price guide 2007).
